I have a theory. I think they are inherently strong geometric abstract shapes. With a minimal bit of suggestion, they become a barn. There is a utilitarian cleanliness and simplicity of design in a barn, especially in a flat landscape such as ours in the Willamette Valley. They present a fantastic jump off point for a great painting experience. The examples of your workshop are wonderful and inspiring! Now if it would only stop raining.... Lynn Hi Ratindra,

The examples of your workshop are wonderful and inspiring! Now if it would only stop raining….
